What's next? Pestilence, flies and locusts? The fit has rightfully hit the shan. I would take all the people involved and dishonorably discharge every last one.

No wonder Soldiers have little or no confidence in their senior leaders:
Pentagon promises accountability, but many generals still on duty months after discipline imposed.

SSG P (interesting play on words there) - which unit are you with in CT? I was with the CTARNG for a while (it's where I got my start), went over to 2/417th to become a Drill and never looked back. Lived in Danbury for about 20 years, so I know the area, and was just curious.

I feel so sorry for today's soldiers.
As a 18 year old, stupid, "Private E Nothing", I participated in and quite possibly instigated many instances of awe inspiring stupidity.

Where was the leadership that should have been taking them by the shoulder and impressing upon them the gravity of the responsibility, and leading them to constructive methods of relieving the tension of such awesome responsibility?
